Pros

Vanta strikes a rare balance. High standards without being toxic. Fast growth without chaos. The people are sharp, but also genuinely good humans who want to help each other win. Leadership is accessible and transparent, and you actually see feedback turn into action. There’s a real sense of ownership here. If you care about doing great work, you’ll be trusted to run. The mission is clear and meaningful, and customers actually value what we’re building. That makes the day-to-day feel purposeful, not just like hitting a number. I’ve grown more here than anywhere else in my career, both in skill and in how I think about leadership.

Cons

It’s not a place to coast. The pace is fast and expectations are high, which can feel intense at times. Priorities can shift as we scale, so you have to be comfortable with some ambiguity.

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, decent work life balance

Cons

This place is incredibly dysfunctional. Every day feels draining. Toxic and rude coworkers, immature leadership, incompetent and ineffective management, inefficient processes... it's nearly impossible to get anything done without multiple layers of review and endless rounds of revisions. The bureaucracy is exhausting. Decisions are made in siloes and often walked back because they weren’t thought through properly to begin with. Information is shared selectively and you will often learn of things “through the grapevine”. Priorities, goals, metrics are nowhere to be found. There's little sense of culture and very little to no focus on employee experience, DEI, or anything beyond the bottom line. Many people come across as disengaged, transactional, and self-interested. Development opportunities are limited, and career and compensation growth are slow even for strong performers. Office politics are prevalent, employee concerns are rarely acted on, and meaningful feedback is rarely given or asked for. There is an overwhelming focus on AI, often without consideration of resource usage, output quality, or security implications, which is surprising given the industry. Usage is duplicative, disconnected, and directionless. I've honestly never felt less connected to my work. At some point, I found myself emotionally checking out just to preserve my own well-being.
